The Lions are edging closer to the first test of the series against the All Blacks on Saturday but before then they will be in Hamilton to take on the Chiefs.

Given the proximity of the first test, it is widely thought that Warren Gatland's side to face the Chiefs are playing second-string to the one that beat the Maori All Blacks 32-10 in Rotorua on Saturday gone.

However, there remains the possibility that some could still play their way into contention for the Test game and there is plenty of Irish interest.

Captain Rory Best, Robbie Henshaw, Jared Payne, CJ Stander and Iain Henderson will all be on from the start and looking to impress.

Here is all you need to know about the game.

What time is the game?

The game will kick-off at 8:35am (Irish time) on Tuesday 20 June 2017 at the FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton.
